[HAPPY BIRTHDAY SANZO!] Goku asks Sanzo for a birthday present, but the monk sets much rules. So, Goku [with the aid of Gojyo and Hakkai], figured out something nasty. How will Sanzo react, and will Goku get his gift? -FINISHED!- R&R, please!

enervate: stuck tongue out at Sanzo Well, watch out, you're
about to be fried by Goku and his request.

Okay, anyway, thanks for the reviews! This is the finale to this fiction!
Reviews are deeply appreciated, as this is my first happy-go-lucky fic, I would
love to know what do you think about this! =) And if Gojyo and Hakkai acted OOC
in this chapter, sorry! Every adult has a 'child' in them.

And the ending is dedicated to all Sanzo X Goku writers, as well to
those who love that pairing... just can't get enough of those two!

"Ah, Goku, excuse me and Gojyo for a while. We have something to
do." Hakkai said. Goku looked up from his stack of dumplings. "Oh?
Okay." Without much suspicion he continued his dinner, deep in thought.
Hakkai shook his head, smiling. He must have been thinking about tonight,...
hmm, honestly, I am wondering if ever Sanzo accept that request...

Ah, that is not a matter of concern. Now, why is Gojyo calling me? Hakkai
followed Gojyo as they walked to a distance out of Goku's earshot. "Doushtano
[What's the matter], Gojyo?" Hakkai's emerald eyes twinkled in concern.
Gojyo tapped his foot impatiently. "Didn't you realize?"

"See what?" Hakkai said, smiling. He began to see logic in Gojyo's
question.

"Something will certainly happen tonight. I bet. Something between the
corrupt monk and the monkey." Gojyo exclaimed, grinning.

"But, what could possibly happen? I don't think both of them will ended
up in bed, Gojyo." Hakkai said, understanding what Gojyo meant. Gojyo
nodded. "I know it is impossible, considering the fact that the monk will
kill anyone who came close within a 5 meter radius of him. But, hey, the monkey
is his pet, after all."

"Gojyo, Gojyo." Hakkai said disapprovingly. "Even though Goku
is Sanzo's so-called 'pet', you don't expect them to kiss or something, do you?
And did you witness me kissing Hakuryu just because it is my pet?"

"What? You and Hakuryu, getting on together? Oh hell, you shouldn't have
mentioned that. If those bunch of fanfiction writers out there caught hold of
this statement, you'll be expecting many R-rated stories on you both, Hakkai."
Gojyo grinned. Hakkai smiled good-naturedly. "I'll be waiting for the day
I'll ever read something like that, Gojyo. Then, you'll be jealous." Hakkai
teased lightly. Gojyo raised his eyebrow. "Jealous? Why?"

"Because it is no longer dominated by HakkaiXGojyo, but it will be
HakkaiXHakuryu." grinned Hakkai. "Damn you!" Gojyo exclaimed,
whacking Hakkai with his hand. Hakkai evaded just in time. "Ah, oyasumi
nasai [Good Night], Gojyo!" Hakkai said, bowed, and quickly darted off
the way. Gojyo gritted his teeth, and hollered. "You wait and see, damn
you, Hakkai!"

Hakkai's only answer was a laugh as he ascended the stairs, echoed by the
footsteps of Gojyo.

* * *

"Where the hell is that idiot..." muttered Gojyo as he wandered
about in the corridors that led to many rooms. Hakkai's room was vacant, so
Gojyo knew that Hakkai is hiding somewhere. "I swear that he will be dead
if I ever get my hands on him..." Gojyo mumbled, scouting the area.
Suddenly he saw Sanzo exiting his own room, with a smug expression on his face. Ah,
time to disturb the monk.

"Eh, the corrupt monk is out, at last..." Gojyo commented wryly.
Sanzo looked up. "Tch. The last person I would want to see now is
you."

"Oh, of course. You are waiting for Goku, isn't it so?" Gojyo said,
grinning. He leaned casually against the wall. "Let me tell you something,
oh generous Sanzo-sama..."

"What is it?" Sanzo eyed Gojyo curiously. Gojyo, seeing that
expression, broke into a bright smile. "Maybe, when you actually give Goku
his present, you'll go broke by no means."

"What do you mean by that?" Sanzo said, frowning. Goku actually
thought of something? This is not a very good news....

Sanzo frowned. He did not like the idea of losing in this game, be it a
stupid one or not. He watched Gojyo disappear at a turning, still deep in
thought. As he turned around, he saw Hakkai walking quietly on the floors, as if
to avoid someone.

"Ooi, Hakkai."

"What???" Hakkai literally jumped, but at the sight of Sanzo, he
relaxed. "Oh, Sanzo...."

"... what the hell is happening here?" Sanzo asked Hakkai, his
eyebrow raised and his amethyst eyes glared in cynicism. Hakkai looked up, but
as he look at Sanzo, he just couldn't help imagining Sanzo and Goku locking
lips. Immediately he burst out laughing, unintentionally.

"Hakkai, you better tell or else..." Sanzo hissed threateningly,
his eyes squinting sharply at Hakkai. Hakkai gulped, and smiled. "Urm,
let's just say that Goku is about to find you for his present, ne? Or urm,...
have you seen Gojyo?" Hakkai tried to change the subject, but to no avail.
Sanzo still kept his deadly glare on, a sign that he is not going to let this
slip of that easily.

"Urm,... urm,..." Hakkai gulped, laughing nervously. As if on cue,
Gojyo appeared. He stormed towards Hakkai and Sanzo. "Hakkai, you idiot!
Get here, or else..." Gojyo yelled, hands tightly clenched. Hakkai pointed
at Gojyo, and said to Sanzo. "See what I mean? Oh, oyasumi nasai [Good
Night], Sanzo, and have a nice day!" With those words, he dashed away, with
Gojyo trailing behind him.

"Kids... I know Gojyo acts like that sometimes, but I never knew that
Hakkai is one, too." Sanzo muttered. He walked further and descended the
stairs, but as he did so, he saw Goku coming up.

"Ooi, saru [monkey]." Sanzo called out. Goku looked up, and
almost fell downstairs at the sight of Sanzo. "Ah, oh,... urm, Sanzo...
hehehe! Where were you the whole day?" Goku asked, trying to regain his
balance. Sanzo frowned. "Why is everyone so weird today?"

"Weird?" Goku sniffed at the air. "Nothing. I don't notice
anything." Goku said, confused. Sanzo slapped at his own forehead, and
muttered "Baka [Stupid]." repeatedly. Remembering his purpose
of coming out from the room, he turned and asked Goku. "So, have you
decided?"

"Decide? What?" Goku asked, more confused than ever. Sanzo took out
his paper fan and waved it threateningly at Goku. "Your present..." he
muttered.

"Oh,... well,... urm,..." Goku stammered, grinning sheepishly at
Sanzo. "I don't think here is the right place to say it."

"Fine. You want a good place? Come." Sanzo walked off in a huff,
and directly entered his own room. What the hell is going on? First Gojyo,
then Hakkai, now Goku. It seems like everyone is out of his mind.

"Ah, forget about me. Come. You said you want to know everything, don't
you?" Hakkai said, smiling. He ran his hand through his ruffled hair,
trying to make it look not that untidy. "I guess I wouldn't want to miss
out everything." admitted Gojyo. The both of them laughed as they
positioned themselves outside Sanzo's room, ears pressed against the door.

"Fine. But if the time's up, you won't receive anything." Sanzo
warned. He picked up the digital alarm clock by the bedside, and flashed it
directly at Goku's direction. It read '10:30PM'. Goku sighed. So much more time,
less worries. He could slowly talk his way into telling what he wanted then,...

"Okay... as you know, I've been spending much time thinking about the
present. Even Gojyo and Hakkai offered assistance." Goku started slowly.
Sanzo kept silent. Taking that as a sign to continue, Goku spoke.

"Well, I've had a lot of suggestions, you know? They even suggested much
things that I can't think of, such as handphones, sports car and even
PlayStation 2." Goku listed Gojyo and Hakkai's suggestions. Sanzo frowned. What
rubbish,... Goku using handphones? Does he even understand? And a sports car? We
have Hakuryu here,... what's the point? PS2? Whoever that think of that must
have been pure idiot.

"The one who suggested the PS2 is surely incapable of thinking properly,
or to be exact, pure stupid." Sanzo commented as he lighted a cigarette.

* * *

"What? He~" Gojyo was muffled by Hakkai as he frowned and waved his
fists in the air. "Ssshhh!" Hakkai said. Releasing Gojyo, Hakkai
sighed and pressed his ear to the door to hear more.

"Urm,... anyway, I have much good suggestions too, Sanzo. They are
helpful indeed." Goku said, smiling. Sanzo raised one cynical eyebrow.
"Really?"

"Yeah. They suggested me to ask for a permanent allowance, or money, or
my own charge card, or even a bank account!" Goku exclaimed happily.
"See? It is much more brilliant than what I could have think of."

"Then, what do you want?" snapped Sanzo. Goku pouted. "I'm not
done with my story!"

"Okay, fine. Talk to your heart's content." Sanzo said.

"Well, I couldn't quite decide on the gift at first. So, Hakkai taught
us a nice game, you know? You ask a question to everyone in general, then
everyone answers, and soon it will lead from one thing to another. That is when
we got many ideas."

"Hmm, well, I am not good at the game though, so what I did is
answering. Hehehe!"

"Figures..." Sanzo muttered.

"Hmm, but I did ask one question, though." Goku said defensively.
Sanzo eyed him curiously. "Oh, what did you ask?"

"Well,... I ask what that they will give their loved ones... that's
all." Goku answered. Sanzo frowned. He couldn't quite see the connection of
that question with this thing. "Why that question?"

"Well, it was just a sudden thought. No relevance with everything."
Goku said. Sanzo shook his head. Brainless monkeys with brainless
questions... "So what did they answer?"

"Okay, I get it." Sanzo interrupted Goku. Now, I think I saw
some relation between the question and what that might happen later...

"Well, Hakkai said he will either buy the person flowers, or maybe a
walk in the park,.. or~"

Again, Goku was interrupted by Sanzo. The young one found himself looking at
two glaring orbs.

"So, Goku, do you mean that you want a stroll in the park or something
stupid like that? If yes, I'm telling you, I WON'T be caught dead walking in a
park with some stupid umbrella like those movies." Sanzo said bluntly. Goku
smiled.

"Well, I am not asking for a walk, Sanzo." Goku said, and smiled
his ever-innocent smile. "I'm not asking for a kiss, or flowers, and
definitely not to spend a night together."

Sanzo raised his eyebrow quizzically. He is still quite paranoid of what is
coming on,...

"Sanzo,..." Goku started. Sanzo folded his hands. "You better
say it now. I had a hunch that it will be bad."

"Not really..." Goku admitted. He got closer to Sanzo.
"Well,... I,..." Goku swore that he could have choked when he asked.
Without further hesitation, he closed his eyes and hugged Sanzo.

"What the~" Sanzo cursed, and almost fended Goku off if it weren't
for Goku who said what he wanted before it is too late.

"I only wanted a hug, Sanzo. It is not edible and not a food either.
Please, Sanzo." Goku pleaded. Sanzo gritted his teeth. "Fine."
Okay, so he lost. But he is not going to give up this easily either.

"But a hug is not chargeable on a credit card, Goku. How are you to
explain this?" Sanzo snapped. Goku pouted, his hands still clinging around
Sanzo. "Does it even matter, Sanzo? It is really hard to think of this
present, Sanzo. Even Gojyo and Hakkai did not help on this!"

"Well, all right. But only ONCE." Sanzo half-heartedly put his
hands around Goku. Goku grinned, and nodded. "Thank you, Sanzo. This will
be the best present I'll ever receive!" Goku hugged Sanzo closer, pressing
his head against Sanzo's chest. He felt so happy, so blissful, so content. Well,
even if it is for once,... but this is nice, definitely nice.... mmmm....

"Even better than a hundred pork buns?" Sanzo questioned, smiling.
Goku nodded. Sanzo sighed. As much as he hate to admit it, he felt quite at ease
with Goku in his arms. Slowly, he pulled Goku closer, and hugged the young one
tightly. He made his fingers ran through Goku's hair slowly, feeling those soft
strands melting in his hand. He placed his head onto Goku's, and sighed.

But only ONCE,... Sanzo's own words rang through his mind, breaking
the surreal moment almost immediately. Sanzo got up, but Goku was fast asleep in
his arms.

"Damn,..." Sanzo cursed. He wanted to wake Goku up, but on second
thought,...

"Well, as I said, ONCE is enough. Happy birthday, baka saru
[stupid monkey]." Sanzo hugged Goku and placed the monkey beside him in
bed. Still locked in that embrace, Goku didn't realize that he had Sanzo hugging
him the whole night through,... as an unexpected birthday gift from his beloved
master.

* * *

"Wow,... Goku is bold enough to ask for a hug... and I'll kill him for
saying it all." Gojyo said as he slumped there beside Hakkai. Hakkai
smiled. "Well, case settled. So Sanzo kept to his promise. Now, are you
happy?"

"Yeah, he did eat up his words, sort of. Hey, they are quiet now, Hakkai.
I wonder what are they doing inside..." Gojyo said wickedly as he grinned
at Hakkai. Hakkai shook his head. "Nothing dangerous, Gojyo. Now, why not
let us take our own beauty sleep? We have much to travel tomorrow."

"Agreed. Hmm, Goku is not out yet,... I think something fishy is on,...
Hakkai,... why not stay here longer,... Hakkai? Hakkai!" Gojyo saw no one
beside him, and from a distance, Hakkai waved goodbye to him.

"Damn him..." Gojyo said as he retreated to his own room as
weariness claimed the rest of the time away from him.

* * *

The next day...

The golden sun began its journey across the skies, setting the room with a
soft glow of yellow. And in that soft radiance Goku found himself awake in
Sanzo's arms.

Goku's eyes widened as he realized that he is still in Sanzo's room. Oh
God,... what the hell happened yesterday? I was so tired,... and I just fell
asleep...

Oh, so Sanzo kept me here... hmm,...

Today's my birthday! Yeah! I'm now 19! Too happy indeed, our young
Goku is. Out of his sheer happiness he gave Sanzo an extremely tight hug,
causing the sleeping priest to wake up and glare at Goku in the deadliest way
possible. "Do you want to die???"

"Then what are you planning to ask for? No food, no edible stuffs... are
you going to enlist Hakkai and Gojyo's help again?" Sanzo said snidely.
Goku looked up, grinning.

"No. I've planned what to ask for next year."

"What is it?" Sanzo asked, his eyes lit with curiosity.

"Hmm,... nothing bad, really." Goku said slyly. Sanzo did not
really like the sound of this...

"Maybe a kiss or a night with you." Came Goku's naughty response.
Sanzo frowned, his vein bulging from his temples. With an expertise move, he
took out his fan and...

WHACK! WHACK!

"Since when did you turn into such a pervert, you idiot monkey!
Birthdays don't give you excuses to act in such disorderly fashion!!"

End Of 'To Wish For Something Unattainable'

Author's Notes :: Well, did you enjoy the story? Hope
so. Now, will Goku keep up to his words, and ask for a kiss or something nasty
on the next year?? If I get into the mood of writing by the time Goku's REAL
birthday arrives, I'll do a sequel to this, okay? Watch out for 6th April 2003
if I ever plan to continue. What do you think? Should I?

Anyway, to you writers out there, how about casting Hakkai and
Hakuryu together??? JK! Gojyo is mad,... he'll be killing me later.
